Description

Naphthaleneacetamide CAS NO 31093-43-3 is a synthetic plant growth regulator belonging to the auxin family. This compound is valued for its potent biological activity in stimulating root formation and controlling plant development. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers of agricultural chemicals, plant tissue culture media, and specialized horticultural products.

Application

• Agricultural Chemicals: A key intermediate and active ingredient in the formulation of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and rooting hormones.
• Horticulture & Floriculture: Used to promote root development in cuttings for ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees, improving propagation success rates.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Employed in laboratory media to induce callus formation and regulate morphogenesis in vitro for plant cloning and research.
• Fruit & Crop Management: Applied to influence fruit set, prevent premature fruit drop, and manage vegetative growth in various crops.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard and reagent in biochemical and agricultural research studying auxin activity and plant physiology.
